Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage.
